Proven TE in his prime — production and runway both hold.

DVS is our model view, scored on Engine-default half-PPR — not a guaranteed price in your league. Bye weeks and schedule strength are left out on purpose.

Quick answer

Buy low

Mayer caught 35 passes for 328 yards in 2025, finishing TE41. He scored about 10% less than his touches said he should. The arc is recovery: TE33, then TE58, now TE41. Only 11 games in 2024 — availability is the headline. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
